AS Saint-Étienne is playing its first preparation match this Saturday against Le Puy en Velay, and for the moment Claude Puel has no reinforcement in his squad. But that could change this weekend.
The supporters of AS Saint-Étienne know that their club cannot do anything during this transfer market, because even if the DNCG has given the green light to the Greens, Roland Romeyer and Bernard Caïazzo will be of absolute caution. The two Saint-Etienne leaders will not want to seal the club at the very moment when ASSE is expected to be sold. As far as reinforcement is concerned, Claude Puel is therefore still waiting, and the Saint-Etienne coach will tackle the first preparatory meeting this Saturday with a squad he knows well since they are unchanged. However, it is from Tunisia that the first official signing of Saint-Étienne may well arrive in this summer transfer window. Tunisian media are claiming that Wajdi Kechrida, the 24-year-old defender who played for the famous Etoile Sportive du Sahel club, will be signing up with ASSE in the coming hours.
According to the news site Réalités Online, everything is now complete regarding the right-back. ” Wajdi Kechrida a four-year contract with French L1 club AS Saint-Étienne where he will join another Tunisian international, Wahbi Khazri. It was on the recommendation of Greens coach Claude Puel that this recruitment was concluded in order to ward off the departure of Mathieu Debuchy. Kechrida was since June 30 at the end of his contract with the star club », Specifies the Tunisian media. AS Saint-Étienne will therefore not have to pay a transfer to afford the defender, all the same remains to formalize this operation, because we know the Greens have sometimes had unpleasant surprises in this kind of case, the Mostafa Mohamed file having been remembered by all.
